("21st Century" or "the Group")
Trading Update
The Board of 21st Century today provides the following trading update.
Trading during the year to 31 December 2015 progressed in line with management expectations and we expect to announce our full year results, the first to include the RSL Group acquired on 30 April 2015, in mid-May. Year-end cash stood at £1m.
Trading during the first three months of 2016 has however been slower than expected with orders from two large fleet customers weighted more towards the second half than originally anticipated and management have initiated a programme of remedial action to remove costs from the business.
The board is increasingly confident that the performance in the second half of the year will be much improved on that of H1.
